For those of you with problematic skin or acne, Herbline Essentials Problem Skin Scrub (Dh139) should be a must-have in your beauty regime. It contains natural clay to absorb skin's impurities and acts as an astringent to remove blackheads and close pores, offering almost miraculous effects. The formulation contains tiny granules that are not harsh on the skin and uses margosa, brahmi (bacopa) and basil extracts, which are powerful natural antiseptics that clear infections and heal damaged skin. It can be used daily as a wet scrub or applied once or twice a week and allowed to dry before washing off for maximum effect.
One of my absolute favourites, the Konjac Sponge Co. Charcoal Sponge is no joke, and worth adding to your skincare stash. Made from the root of the Konjac plant, this little gem is packed with minerals, which deep clean skin pores to eliminate blackheads and dirt whilst absorbing excess oils and toxins. A natural antioxidant, it kills stubborn acne-causing bacteria and is an effective natural treatment for acne sufferers. The perfect detox programme for your face!
When it comes to your shampoo and conditioner, natural is the way to go. Conventional haircare products often contain harmful petroleum-based polymers, silicones and synthetic chemicals that strip hair of its natural oils and leave locks dry. Their natural counterparts in The Face Shop's new range Beyond, on the other hand, are designed to cleanse and nourish hair.
For those of you who want to not only look good, but feel good, Balanced Guru is the way to go. They have everything you need for a full skincare regimen, and donate to important causes too! After all, the exterior glows only if the interior does. I recommend their facial cleanser. Formulated with a sugar-based surfactant to prevent over-drying your skin, this mild facial cleanser will leave your skin clean and refreshed, remove excess oil and balance your skin to normalise sebum production.
Invented for younger skin, the Lush chocolate mask is cheerful and cheeky, but still effective. The serious side of this mask has linseed infusion to nourish and soften the skin, fresh mint for toning, cocoa butter to moisturise and rhassoul mud to absorb grease and give a deep cleanse. Some of the fun ingredients in the mask - apart from rhassoul mud - include cocoa powder, cocoa butter, fresh mint, sandalwood oil, vanilla absolute, spearmint oil and peppermint oil. Sounds yummy, doesn't it?
